The Barones serve up laughter in this classic “Everybody Loves Raymond” Thanksgiving. A word of caution: do not take a bite of turkey or stuffing before watching this hysterical clip. We don’t need anyone choking. Watch this short but hilarious video of a Thanksgiving dinner at the Barone household.

Holidays are fantastic and joyous occasions, where we have the opportunity to join together with family and friends, catch up with one another and enjoy a delicious, mouth-watering meal. That is especially true at Thanksgiving, as we gather to eat a smorgasbord of some of the most delectable, appetizing dishes while praising and thanking the Lord for the many ways He has blessed us throughout the year.

However, while Thanksgiving is an occasion to be with family, eat entirely too much food and possibly watch some football; it can also be a stressful situation. People do not always get along, and sometimes there are personality clashes, which can raise blood pressure and the tension in the room. A hilarious, laugh-out-loud funny video posted on YouTube shows this to be the case.

The clip is a segment from the beloved television show “Everybody Loves Raymond.” It begins with Ray and Debra on the couch discussing what she should make for their family’s Thanksgiving dinner. As per usual, Ray is not much help and even insults his wife’s lack of cooking ability in the process. 

We then see the Barone family – Ray, Debra, Marie, Frank, Robert and Amy – enjoying Thanksgiving dinner together. Things seem OK, or about as good as they can be for Thanksgiving dinner at the Barone house. Of course, everything quickly takes a dramatic turn after dinner.

Debra and Marie, who are constantly at each other’s throats in the show, continue their passive-aggressive feud. Marie, once again, insults Debra’s cooking and cleaning, and does so with a smile on her face.

“Debra, I don’t know why your rolls are all left,” Marie said. “I liked them. The burnt part gave them some flavor. Oh, and don’t worry about those pots and pans, honey. I know how to do those.”

“Oh, well, cleaning is cleaning,” Debra responds.

“You’d think so,” Marie answers back.

“Everybody Loves Raymond” is a show that, no matter how many times you’ve seen an episode, it still manages to get you laughing out loud.

1 Timothy 5:8 “If anyone has no care for his family and those in his house, he is false to the faith and is worse than one who has no faith.”

Director Dallas Jenkins opens up about The Chosen Season 6, the emotional toll of filming the crucifixion, and why he believes a spiritual awakening is stirring across America. He also shares the 20-year journey behind The Best Christmas Pageant Ever -- now on home video -- and why the story still moves him to tears. Plus, Jenkins explains how his new animated series The Chosen Adventures helps families see Jesus through the eyes of children.

Amazon Prime has released the trailer for its new animated faith series, “The Chosen Adventures.” The series will bring the life and teachings of Jesus Christ to animation. Watch the short but powerful trailer to get a look at the upcoming series headed to Amazon Prime Video, “The Chosen Adventures.”

As parents know and understand, most children have the attention span of a gnat. They have way too much energy for someone so small and must constantly move about. Sure, they may be entirely focused on and super into this or that, but five minutes later, they are off onto something else. They have already lost interest in and completely forgotten about that other subject or object that captivated them just moments ago.

Despite their short, very minimal attention spans, all children seem to be entirely captivated and enchanted by animation. Cartoons are the one thing that will cause youngsters to slow down and stay in the same spot for longer than five minutes at a time. So, if you were trying to reach and minister to children, it makes sense to put the life and teachings of Jesus Christ into animation. That is just what the creators of “The Chosen Adventures” series have done.

The series follows the energetic and mischievous 9-year-old Abby and her buddy Joshua, who encounter a man praying alone in the wilderness while they looking for fun and adventure. That man just so happens to be Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world. Following their encounter with the King of Kings, their lives will never be the same again.

 Like many children, the trailer shows Abby, who is very inquisitive, asking questions on nearly every subject imaginable.

“You ask many questions,” Jesus says to Abby.

“And you answer all of them,” Abby responds.

The animated series, from the creators of the wildly popular show “The Chosen,” features Jonathan Roumie as the voice of Jesus. The series begins streaming on Amazon Prime on Oct. 17.

Matthew 19:14 “But Jesus said, ‘Let the little ones come to me, and do not keep them away: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.”

Pope Leo XIV welcomed Jonathan Roumie and other “The Chosen” cast members during a meeting in Vatican City. During the powerful encounter, Jonathan says he immediately spotted kindness and charity in the new pope. Watch the short but powerful clip to hear more about Jonathan’s meeting and the hilarious and unexpected gifts he brought for the pope.

“The Chosen,” the television series depicting the life and teachings of Jesus Christ, the world's Savior, has exploded in popularity. Since the program launched in 2017, it has garnered a massive audience, with one article claiming that the show has been viewed by 200 million people across the various online streaming platforms.

After spending several weeks in Italy while filming the crucifixion scenes for season six of the beloved series, Jonathan and his fellow castmates, Elizabeth Tabish, George Xanthis, Vanessa Benavente, as well as Dallas Jenkins, the series creator, met with Pope Leo XIV.

In an interview following the meeting, Jonathan remarked on Pope Leo XIV’s kindness and charity and how he had not seen any episodes of “The Chosen,” even though he is well aware of the series.

“Just the kindness on his face and, and just a, a charity about him that just moved me,” Jonathan said. “It was really, yeah, it was overwhelming at first, and just really, really excited. I didn’t think I would get to meet him this soon.”

While Pope Leo XIV has yet to catch any episodes of “The Chosen,” someone very close to him is familiar with the popular series.

“He hadn’t seen the show that I’m on, but his brother was a fan of it,” Jonathan said. “And so, he’s like, he knew of the show. And I said, ‘Well, we brought some DVDs to help remedy that.’”

Later in the clip, Jonathan stated that he understands the Lord has blessed him with particular talents and put him where he is for a specific reason.

“I believe, and I still believe, that God gave me certain gifts to use, to share with the world and specifically to glorify His name in some way,” he said. “And until I realized that I didn’t really have success, and once I committed my career to Him and in doing so, the entirety of my life, that’s when my life changed.”

Revelation 4:11 “You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power: for you have created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created.”

Kirk Cameron discusses and introduces his new faith-based children’s show, “Iggy and Mr. Kirk.” The actor, writer and television show host talked to GodTube about his latest show, which is intended for children. Watch the short clip to hear more about the show, Kirk’s reason for creating the program and where and how to watch it.

Hollywood does not typically welcome or celebrate Christian values. Instead, many popular television shows and movies promote thoughts, ideas and values that are diametrically opposed to what Christians think and believe. Often, the ideas found in today’s popular, mainstream culture are downright hostile to Christianity.

Sadly,  some of these ideas have started to trickle into and are being pushed by many children’s programs. Kirk, looking to counter that growing hostility to Christian values in children’s entertainment, created the faith-based children’s series “Iggy and Mr. Kirk.”

Kirk described the show and what kids and families can expect from the new series in the interview.

“It’s almost like we got to go back in time to shows from a long time ago,” he said. “Well, that’s essentially what we’re trying to do with a beautiful new show called “Iggy and Mr. Kirk.” It entertains kids. It ignites their imagination while building their character and their faith.”

Kirk goes on to describe the show as “Mr. Rogers meets Sesame Street, only it’s faith-filled” and “Bible-friendly, and instead of Kermit the Frog, we have Iggy the Iguana.”

The “Growing Pains” actor mentioned why a program like “Iggy and Kirk” is desperately needed today.

“It couldn’t be coming at a better time,” he said. “We want things that are going to encourage our kids and teach them wisdom and build their character but what TV shows do that? I mean, we used to be able to trust Disney shows. But today, we have just about everything so polluted and infiltrated with all of this woke ideology, and all of this, everything from DEI to the purple-hair platoon to everything else and the Alphabet Army infiltrating the values that are being taught to our kids.”

Kirk adds that the series touches on several very important topics that don’t get much attention in many children’s programming, including forgiveness, self-control, teamwork, the importance of family and telling the truth even when it may cost you something.

“Iggy and Mr. Kirk” premieres on March 27, 2025, on Brave+. For more information on the program, click here.
